Potato Hacking, Day 1, Update 2: it's definitely the Peasant Diet

Now I know why the official potato hack calls for not exercising during the potatoes-only phase. I was feeling light-headed again before my Zumba class, so I had a fun-size Snickers, 11 peanuts, and the last of the plain yogurt in the fridge, prob'ly a quarter cup. When I got home, I decided I was going to eat like a peasant whose family had caught a fish and grew more things than potatoes.

Emma's away now. When she gets back, I'll either have a beer (154 calories) or a glass of wine (123 calories). Tomorrow, the peasant will start the day with oatmeal with an apple cooked in it.

Here's today's calorie count (UPDATED):

10/18/2016

1.7 lbs Potatoes

589.9

1 egg

90

salsa

10

1 carrot

25

1 fun snickers

80

1/4 cup plain yogurt

40

11 peanuts

121

2 fish filets

200

1 zucchini

33

1 red wine

125

1 slice bread

79

tiny bit of peanut butter

40

1432.9

That doesn't include a tiny bit of oil in the skillet for the egg and the filets, and a little skim milk in coffee, so I'll guess there's another 100 calories there.
